Stalker 2 - All Budmo Stashes & Locations

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is filled with thrilling quests that will challenge your survival and combat skills like never before. One of these missions is called Budmo, and it's the ultimate test of whether you're a true Stalker or not. However, it's quite different from the rest.

It won't require you to fight a lot of enemies, but instead, you'll have to help two men place drinks in three Stashes. In this guide, we'll show you all Stashes in the Budmo mission and their exact locations, so you can progress fast in the game and obtain some amazing rewards. Let's get started!

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl All Budmo Stashes & Locations

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl All Budmo Stashes & Locations

It's important to note that there are three Stashes in the Budmo quest in total. Although looting them is one of the best ways to win some rewards in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, there will be consequences for your actions later on. Ultimately, the choice of whether you'll get a few items for yourself or not is yours.

Concrete Block Stash

To find the Concrete Block Stash, you'll need to look inside the broken concrete pillar. Simply jump on top of the rubble until you spot a hollowed-out concrete stump. Once you break the lid, you'll get the following rewards:

M10 Gordon SMG
RNBW 2x Scope
Pistol Suppressor

Keep in mind that if you decide to take any of the items from the Stash, the quest objective will be marked as failed. However, the M10 can be very helpful in almost every combat situation, and it will be in perfect condition when you find it.

Poisonous Hole Stash

Go to the toxic anomaly field by heading north from the Concrete Block Stash. Keep following the marker to the cave. When you get there, you'll see a Flesh inside. Use a shotgun to take it out and enter.

There will be a bag at the end of the tunnel: this is the Poisonous Hole Stash. In this case, the Bucket S-2 SMG can be one of the most tempting items, as it's chambered in 9x18 ammo, which is the same one you use for the PTM Pistol. Here's a full list of what you'll find inside the Poisonous Hole Stash:

A box of pistol ammo
Optician Gas mask
Buket S-2 SMG
A Grenade

Transmission Array Stash

The Transmission Array Stash is not easy to find, but it makes sense since it's the last Stash of the Budmo quest. It's located in one of the bird nests in the tower, so jump on a tree and take it. Keep in mind that the Flash inside the Stash will give you electric protection, and the Moonlight Artifact will grant you the same but way stronger in comparison. The full list of items is as follows:

HILKA Detector
Flash artifact
Moonlight artifact

The most valuable item here is the HILKA Detector as it's way better than the one you already have and it has different indicators to help you locate Artifacts. Moreover, its range is incredible.

Panas

After you find all three Budmo Stashes, talk to Panas. He'll tell you how Grisha and Misha promised to deliver the Anti-Radiation Drugs, but they never did and gave him vodka instead. You can choose to help him, give him more vodka to get 1,800 Coupons in return, or kill him and loot his body.

If you have decided to rob the Stashes, make sure to get the Transmission Array first, as the third Stash will already be empty. You'll be able to just kill Panas and get whatever is in his inventory as an addition. Have fun and good luck on your next adventure!
